Providing students with authentic research opportunities has been shown to enhance learning and increase retention in STEM majors.Accordingly, we have developed a novel microbiology lab module, which focuses on the molecular mechanisms of evolution in E.coli, by examining the growth advantage in stationary phase (GASP) phenotype.The GASP phenotype
Effectiveness of active control of micro jets has been examined by conducting experiments through an abruptly expanded axi-symmetric duct in a view to control base pressure.For this purpose, 1mm orifice diameter micro jets have been deployed at an interval of 900 along the exit diameter of the nozzle.The experiments have been conducted by consideri
Abstract Background As the climate continues to warm, hurricanes will continue to increase in both severity and frequency.Hurricane damage is associated with cardiovascular events, but social capital may moderate this relationship.Social capital is a multidimensional concept with a rich theoretical tradition.Simply put, social capital refers to the
The understanding of the response of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) community composition to fertilization is of great significance in sustainable agriculture.However, how fertilization influences AMF diversity and composition is not well established yet.A field experiment located in northeast China in typical black soil (Chernozem) was conduct
